Blah —
drove this car, pretty advanced gearbox SMG shifts quite well but jerky driving in traffic. power was good but revs had to be up, throttle response wasnt quite like the e39 m5 but was deffinately faster. electric seat bolsters are cool but really doesnt seem to do much for my frame. ride is quite firm but understandable for a sedan of this caliber. The verdict? deffinately one of the fastest sedans out there with 507 hp V10 engine but i can get more car for 150 grand

The Ultimate Driving Machine —
What can one say about a V10 M5...the car is truly magnificent and almost a perfect car except for the fact it gets about 12MPG. I cant find one other thing that I could complain about except for the older I-Drive is difficult to use perhaps..

Power Style Sophistication —
It's the ultimate driving machine. BMW has outdone themselves again with this engineering marvel. The V10 power plant is something worthy of its own page in the record books, with heart pounding pleasure delivering performance. A kick in the seat of your pants done with class. The E50 M5 is in a league of its own.

Ueber Family Car —
Having some issues with SMG, sometimes pauses from 2nd to 3rd in high
revs, actually shows traction control sign when it pauses, so I think it's
waiting for the revs to come down, but they are never in the RED.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros:
Fast, very fast

Cons:
Horrible gas mileage, but that's the trade-off for a V10 ueber-car

Very Fast, Very Sporty, Handles Awesome, And You Can Carry 4 Passengers.By ecos1

In my opinion still the best looking M5 out there. The new ones are very nice without a doubt, but the E39 is still the king. The car will outperform many sports cars out there, even the newer models....
